Tried to get out for a dive in Newport with one of my buddies, but with the recent full moon and rough seas even the jetty fingers in the bay were pretty rough and the vis was absolutely garbage.
We decided to go clamming instead. We got a bunch of gaper clams. They are some funky looking bivalves and can get pretty big if there is a serious negative king tide. They are wicked dirty too, but we made a roasted garlic clam pizza with some homemade crust that was unreal. The big neck pieces are supposed to make great sushi so that?s what is for dinner tonight.
We got to see the infamous pacific brant too! I was stoked to be 10 yards away from these guys. The amount of waterfowl out here is unreal.
Also the rogue brewery is right in Newport and is an awesome place to check out. Every now and then they do garage sales where they sell random beers for super cheap. It?s basically ?free beer? lol!
